Disrupting Central Carbon Metabolism Increases β-Lactam Antibiotic Susceptibility in Vibrio cholerae.

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic tolerance, the ability of bacteria to sustain viability in the presence of typically bactericidal antibiotics for extended time periods, is an understudied contributor to treatment failure. The Gram-negative pathogen Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, becomes highly tolerant to β-lactam antibiotics (penicillin and related compounds) in a process requiring the two-component system VxrAB....
